FINALLY!! New Black Steelies/Caps/Tires Installed!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**72restorationvirgin** · 05-13-2013, 11:26 PM

I finally got the new tires, steelies, and caps put on today!!! It looks amazingly better then the late model wheels. I went with the Michelin LTX M/S 2's- LT265/75/16. I'm glad I went with the black powder coat for sure. I put the chrome sleeve and caps on the valve stems although you can't really see them in the pictures.... And you guys weren't kidding. These tires ride awesome! Thanks to Sicklajoie for letting me bother him with a few questions!!!

Those wheels really wrap that look together. Congratulation's on a well executed plan!

Evaded · 05-13-2013, 11:44 PM

i really like your paint scheme. the black roof looks really good on top the blue. and the new wheels look definitely look good as well.

JOJABOY · 05-14-2013, 12:59 AM

Did you do a shackle drop in the rear end? Truck looks great.

Thanks everyone! Jojaboy, no the old wheels and tires are in the back and my driveway has an angle so the rear looks dropped. I was to excited to wait for pics and take the old stuff out haha...

how so does it look better than the late model wheels< to me the difference looks subtle, mostly to do with the caps? love the look my friend!

Layne · 12-08-2015, 12:40 PM

Great look!

**Ironangel** · 12-08-2015, 01:06 PM

Looks damn good! Way better than 20" wheels on low profile rubber! Well done!

**Already Gone** · 12-08-2015, 02:37 PM

The black rims and your blue/black paint combo makes the truck look like it should.

Lou Boffa · 12-08-2015, 04:51 PM

Very cool!
